This morning, members of the Anderson Fire Department and the Anderson Police Department joined City staff and community partners in planting purple flags to recognize World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and raise awareness about the importance of protecting older adults from abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation.

Elder abuse often goes unreported, making awareness and community involvement essential in helping protect some of our most vulnerable residents.

If you suspect an older adult is being abused or exploited, don't ignore the signs. Together, we can help create a safer and more supportive community for everyone.

Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

This morning’s Memorial Day Service at Anderson Cemetery, hosted by VFW Post 9650, was a powerful reflection of remembrance and gratitude. The Avenue of Flags stands as a moving tribute to the men and women who gave everything in service to our nation.

Thank you to Anderson VFW Post 9650, the volunteers, speakers, veterans, families, and community members who helped make today’s ceremony so meaningful.

Today, we remember.
Always, we honor. 🇺🇸
